Thank you for raising these vital issues albeit with a four letter word. What concerns me is the fact that while a majority of voters demanded an end to the killing and terror of the war and reaffirmed the santicity of marriage, few seemed bothered by the demand for the death penalty, as well as voting in a pro-abortion, pro embryonic stem cell governor. Can death on any level simply become the "will" of the majority,(Roe v. Wade) or is there some natural law, Church teaching and Gospel values that protect life on all levels.It seems a bit dishonest to demand that gays et al be denied the "right to marry", a mere social structure/legal concept, but we as a group can decide that unborn children can be destroyed along with whomever the illicit court systems decides must die, depending on a given judge and jury and the endless media manipulation.Perhaps the real issue here is that fact that we have become so self-centered and self-indulgent that we actually believe we have the right to take another's life based soley on the will of the majority.May God forgive us for our CNN, Talk Radio, CSI vigilanty mentality, for in fact and deed we know all too well what we do!

I didnt vote for the guy (Doyle) or the death penalty..but I did vote "yes" on the marriage amendment. Though I understand what anonymous #1 is saying and I do think he, (or she) has some valid points and concerns. But to lump all of these issues together is not apples to apples (yes I do get your point)..I think they all have to be looked as individual issues and decisions made based on how it will affect the majority going foward.

To Anonymous #1: "The greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?" (Speech at the National Prayer Breakfast, February 3, 1994).M.F.
